Review Posted 04/16/2013
Bought this unit on 4/8/2011 from Mowers Direct. It arrived in great shape and ran great for a few weeks. Heard loud clunk underneath during third cut, two screws had come out of transmission belt guard/retainer. The screws used by Toro in the zinc transmission housing are intended for assembling plastic parts, not metal. Anyhow, tried several times to order, Toro never shipped them. I re-tapped holes and added machine screws. Have chewed up several drive belts since. The cable clamp for the personal pace also comes loose frequently and must be readjusted. Starting is not 1st or 2nd pull, after 2nd season and local Toro dealer says it is common problem related to ethanol in fuel, not a warranty issue, though replacing metering pins in float bowl 'fixes' issue for a few months. C'mon Briggs/Toro - use Viton or Teflon instead of the BUNA as others have done.
This mower is slowly disintegrating. My old Super Recycler lasted 18 years and I believe I am going to repair it, and pitch this one. Very disappointed. Been using my son's Honda for the last few weeks, much better unit and costs $100 less.

Major problem
By Fred
Edmonton Alberta, Alabama
Review Posted 11/07/2012
I bought this model in the spring of 2012. It was a 2011 model with a Briggs engine.
I do not use the bag.
Mulch all the time. I cut grass about every 10-14 days.
At first I had no problems starting it.But, as the summer wore on I found myself doing more and more pulls to start it.
At the end of September I was preparing it for winter storage.
Found that there was an oil leak at the airfilter.
That was when I decided to take it into the Dealer and have them service the unit, Chang oil and filters, plug and find out why there was an oil leak.
It is still in the repair shop as they are waiting for a short block for the engine. A major problem with the Briggs engine.

Poor design in rear bagger, and starting warm engine difficult!
By Gregory L.
GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania
Review Posted 04/07/2012
The rear bag drops off as soon as it gets about half full. It falls on your feet and is a tripping hazard. Apparently the mounting rod does not have enough length for a margin of safety. At the slightest twist, like when turning, it will dislodge it from the mounting slots and drop on your feet.
Also is difficult to start the warm engine after stopping for a minute or two.

Wish it was front drive
By Candace

Review Posted 10/12/2011
The rear drive wheels drag when I lift the front to change direction 180 degrees. If it had front wheel drive this wouldn't be an issue because the wheels are off the ground anyway.

Review Posted 09/15/2011
I must have spent two full days researching various mowers and finally decided on the Toro 20092. It was rated #2 by CR behind a Honda but after reading countless reviews and having owned a 19HP Toro tractor in the past I went with my gut.
First, dealing with Mowers Direct was flawless. I was a bit apprehensive at first not buying from a national big-box retailer site but I must admit every aspect this transaction was bang-on, billed correctly and delivered on time as promised. Kudos to the folks at Mowers Direct...very professional.
Now to the mower. I opened the box and the mower was already completely assembled save for two screws to mount the handle to the mower. Piece of cake! Read the instructions, added the fuel and oil as directed and it started on the first pull. The "Personal Pace" system is easily the best self-propelled system I have ever used. It is completely intuitive. The mulching system also works perfectly and the Briggs & Stratton engine was relatively quite with a noticeable improvement in emissions...ZERO exhaust smell whatsoever.
Overall I would have to say this is the best mower I have ever owned (and I've owned many). I would highly recommend Mowers Direct and the Toro 20092 to a friend!!!

Toro vs Honda
By Ares
Ketchum, Idaho
Purchased 08/20/2011 |
Review Posted 09/12/2011
Tried the Honda before getting the Toro upon the recommendation of my grandson. He cuts his grass with a Toro and tried the Honda when I rented it. He liked the Toro much better and I agreed. It is much quieter and lighter, and the speed is much easier to control. I like it a lot, but so far I cannot figure out why sometimes when you have to pull it backwards it moves with ease and other times it has a lot of resistance.

Happy with this purchase
By Matt L.

Review Posted 07/05/2011
Researched four rotary lawnmower brands. Everything Toro said about their 21 inch mower is the truth. Right out of the box, added oil, starts on the first pull every time. Mulching feature is amazing. One pass heavy grass clippings are vaporized. Will not kill yourself with this machine. Had major quad heart surgery. The sense pulse feature adjusts to me. Oil change directions "tip the mover to the side". Found drain plug under deck, hidden under two guard plates. Not difficult. Ball bearings make it move easy. Money well spent!

Best mower
By John S.

Review Posted 06/10/2011
This is without a doubt the nicest mower I have ever owned. Put gas and oil in, started on first pull. Clean out feature is super. Mowing is so easy. Would not sell mower for twice what I paid for it if I couldn't buy another one.
Ordering and delivery were so easy also.

WOW, So far so Great
By Scott
Fort Wayne, Indiana
Review Posted 05/18/2011
Just purchased mower yesterday from a local store. After looking for a month and reading all kind of reviews, this is by far the BEST mower I have ever used. It actually cut the mowing time for me by 1/4. I used the mulching system for the first time - I always bag my grass - and you couldn’t tell the difference. The yard looked great. Clean up was very easy and the stand-up handle worked perfect for the storing. The mower stated with one pull every time. The personal pace system is awesome (I had read that some didn’t like it) you can really get a workout on fast pace, but the yard still looks great. The extra features on this model, Steel top and the grease fittings should make this mower last for years. Expensive, but well worth the money. I would give it a 5 star but have only used it once. Come on grass grow...

Best Mower you can buy
By james
Cozad, Nebraska
Review Posted 05/01/2011
I own the TORO model 20043 which is the older model to this one. I love this mower. I have not had many issues with the mower. I have had to replace a couple wheels and have performed regular maintenance on the mover every year. I have owned this mower for 12 years and it seems ready to go another another 12. My father in law is now on his third mower and we purchased mowers a week apart. He went with John Deere and I went with TORO and we both paid about the same for the mowers. The Personal Pace feature is what will keep me with TORO. I cannot see myself with a "self adjust" speed mower again. They are either too slow or too fast. With the Personal Pace feature the machine goes as fast or as slow as you want to go. Buy this mower you will not be sorry it could be the last mower you ever have to buy...
